How does Barnegat Motel compare with other water systems in Ocean County?
By EPA's size categories, Barnegat Motel is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Ocean County has 210 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 3,411 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 716,388 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Barnegat Motel is about half of that figure.

Does Barnegat Motel have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 9 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2023. The violations listed here began between October 2018 and July 2023. By type: 7 required treatment not met, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (11 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
